“Right whale” has ~10x as many mentions. Given relevance to lobster fishing & shipping, makes sense.
There’s a great paper here for someone to write on the relationship between the urgency of conservation problems & the focus of policy-makers. eg www.int-res.com/articles/esr...

This is such an interesting tool. Thanks @dcinbox.bsky.social!
We searched for “killer whale” to see who’s talking about the most critically endangered marine mammal in waters under US jurisdiction (southern residents). Not many. Check out that y axis scale.

Many thanks to @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social BC/WA chapter for this lovely recognition for our work with @uniofstandrews.bsky.social & GenusWave to test nonlethal ways to reduce seal predation on endangered salmon at human-built bottlenecks!
More salmon for orcas and humans alike!

Sir, we’re professionally qualified to tell you that’s a sea lion, not a seal, @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. But given the extremely online meaning of sealioning, we can’t tell if you used this meme intentionally and perfectly. Either way, our Jacques Cousteau red beanies are off to you.

We just published a massive dataset on normal baseline breathing rates & swimming speeds in healthy killer whales. We found a hint that skinny or sick whales deviate from those norms.
